The Cartographers’ Guild is a forum created by and for map makers and aficionados, a place where every aspect of cartography can be admired, examined, learned, and discussed. Our membership consists of professional designers and artists, hobbyists, and amateurs—all are welcome to join and participate in the quest for cartographic skill and knowledge.

Although we specialize in maps of fictional realms, as commonly used in both novels and games (both tabletop and role-playing), many Guild members are also proficient in historical and contemporary maps. Likewise, we specialize in computer-assisted cartography (such as with GIMP, Adobe apps, Campaign Cartographer, Dundjinni, etc.), although many members here also have interest in maps drafted by hand.

If this is your first visit, be sure to check out the FAQ. You will have to register before you can post or view full size images in the forums.

*** NOTICE - All Entrants Please Read ***

It has been noted that the majority of the entries do not satisfy the listed requirements in this month's challenge. Specifically, most of the entries do not satisfy the requirement that:

For the sake of the plot, there must be the following items labeled or on a legend:

• a central square,
• a shrine to the local deities,
• a large fortified wooden house with guest quarters for the village governor, and
• twenty or so peasant houses clustered around the central square and governor’s house, including rice, wheat, and vegetable farmers, a beekeeper, sheep herders, and so forth.
• a mill,
• a tannery,
• a bridge over the east-west flowing main river, and
• a ford across the north-south flowing tributary.

This challenge is about accurately following an art brief as well as producing a high quality finished product. As most of the entries would be disqualified if we were to enforce this we will take the alternative approach of giving all contestants 48 hours to update their entries with this information. You will also be required to check that your map meets any other requirements of the art brief.

I will re-close the threads at 4pm EST on Tuesday the 30th of March and set up a new poll.

You are allowed to make any other changes or adjustments to your map - including Sapiento if you wish to complete your map. Please post to this thread with any questions, or pm myself or any of the other CLs to discuss this decision.
